To check the preparedness of the police force and their presence in the commissionerate, Commissioner of Police (CP) Naunihal Singh woke all police officers and SHOs around 3.15 am today and told them to reach the designated places.

Officers of the rank of ACP, ADCP and JCP were called to Guru Nanak Stadium, while the SHOs were directed to reach Bharat Nagar Chowk.

“I got a call from the police control room around 3.15 am on Sunday… I reached the spot within 15 minutes. I was surprised when I got a call in the wee hours,” an SHO requesting anonymity told The Tribune.

Sources said some of the officers were not present at their station but managed to reach the designated place in minimum possible time after receiving the message.

No cop will leave the station, and force should remain ready all the time with their weapons and other equipment, Singh, who assumed the office yesterday, reportedly told the force.
